# File description

In addition to attributes, another way of simplifying the search process for users is to add descriptions to a file.

{% hint style="info" %}
Descriptions can only be added to documents, binders, clauses, concepts and definitions. Not to proxies or images. 
{% endhint %}

You can add a description (in multiple languages) by going to the description pane while editing a file. Click the *Description* button in the navigation menu on the right hand side.
